A quick definition of mutual aid society :

A mutual aid society is a group of people who help each other out when they need it. They work together to share resources and support each other. It's like having a big family that helps you when you're in trouble. They don't make money from helping others, they just do it because they care about their community. Mutual aid societies can be found in different parts of the world and they help people who are struggling with things like money problems, health issues, or natural disasters.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A mutual aid society is a group of people who come together to help each other out. They work together to provide resources and support to those in need. Mutual aid societies are not businesses, but rather community-based networks that operate on the principle of solidarity and cooperation. They can be found at the regional, city, county, or even neighborhood level.

Mutual aid societies are often formed to help people who are struggling due to poverty, health crises, or natural disasters. They provide a range of resources, including food, shelter, medical care, and emotional support. Members of mutual aid societies volunteer their time and resources to help others in their community.

Examples of mutual aid societies include Mutual Aid NYC, Mutual Aid Tompkins, and Mutual Aid LA. These organizations have been formed to help people in their respective communities who are struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They provide a range of resources, including food, financial assistance, and mental health support.

The examples illustrate the definition of mutual aid societies by showing how these organizations work to support people in need. They demonstrate the importance of community-based networks and the power of solidarity and cooperation in times of crisis.

That makes sense. Was looking into Cornell clerking stats https://www.lawschool.cornell.edu/careers/judicial-clerkships/
U kno even tho their circuit numbers don't compare to other schools, those #s are better than expected tbh
40-50 fed clerks is pretty cool

No, at least from the two people I know there that’s false. I think it’s just something like Chicago for conservatives is on par with S whereas for liberals it’s below HYS but above CCNP

I mean I think even the student body there only like 15 percent is part of fedsoc
It's more just not a good # for people who aren't willing to clerk conservative. I'm sure they place liberal clerks at an above average rate for a t-6 though. Maybe higher (not entirely sure)
